  • Key Concepts: Non-linear display order is a feature of SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component. It allows users to display text in a non-linear order, meaning that the text can be displayed in any order the user chooses, rather than in a linear, left-to-right or top-to-bottom order. This feature is useful for displaying text in languages that are written in a non-linear fashion, such as Chinese or Japanese.
    How to use it: To use the non-linear display order feature, users must first enable it in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component and selecting the “Enable Non-Linear Display Order” option. Once enabled, users can then enter text into the system and select the “Non-Linear Display Order” option to display it in any order they choose.
    Tips & Tricks: When using the non-linear display order feature, it is important to remember that some languages may require special formatting when displayed in a non-linear fashion. For example, Chinese and Japanese characters may need to be displayed in a specific order for them to make sense. It is also important to remember that some languages may not be supported by this feature.
